How much would you be willing to pay to see Ben Kenobi leave forever?

[giblets]

I see, all those grand liberal ideals and when it comes right down to it, you'd pay more to spite someone online than to help a calamity stricken family in need

Strangers I come across online aren't the most credible charities.

[Aeson]

Well here's the problem you see, if you are really Aeson then that would indeed be a reasonable deal, however if you're really Ben then you're a pathological liar, and I cannot trust that my money would not just go to fund your latest Jesus tattoo or holy wine binge.

You see my problem..

So Ben is a pathological liar, but Aeson is not, and we are yet the same person ... You've built an airtight case there sherlock

(By airtight I mean, you need to breathe and let those brain cells taste sweet oxygen for once ... )

[giblets]

Why would I need to suggest an alternative? I have nothing to prove.

Well you see, it's possible to play the part of a pathological liar without actually being one, it's called acting or 'trolling' as the kids like to call it these days. Of course if you are actually Ben playing Aeson, then yes Aeson is also a pathological liar.

It's all very confusing, I can understand why you're struggling. I'm amazed you've managed to keep it up for this long to be honest.

Yes, obviously you have no reason to want to help poor victims of a natural disaster while finding a way to remove Ben from this forum. Instead, you will just want to help find a way to remove Ben from this forum without helping those in need. We are all agreed on that point.

Same goes for you. Ben can be banned and a trusted charity paid, all that is required is for you to prove I am Ben ... since I am willing to consent to the arrangement (dependent upon the size of the donation offered of course).

That you are trying so hard to distract from the obvious best solution here, I can only assume it is because you want to avoid helping poor people at all costs.

[mrmitchell]

I'll put in $5 to keep him around.

This is Ben-esque logic. Just because I don't believe you can deliver on your proposal of simultaneously removing Ben from the forum and helping people in need does not mean I don't think it would be great if it could be done.

[SlowwHand]

I think it's called a witch hunt. A lot like McCarthy.

Come now, I think we're past that point. I know it's hard to give up something you've worked on so hard for so long, but it was such a huge success that you should be extremely proud.

I would still like to know whether it's Aeson-Ben or Ben-Aeson though. I fully understand if you don't want to give up all your secrets though.

Yes, you were so vehement about how I'm not Ben before it came time to put your money where your mouth was ... now you're backtracking and trying to pretend how much you believe I'm not Ben. Obvious what caused your change of heart...

But thanks for helping me point out how stupid ken is

All it takes is the possibility of some poor family receiving aid from an earthquake, and that's enough to keep ken from paying for Ben to leave. Such priorities

Thank you for returning the discussion to the original topic. This is like a witch hunt in the sense that both witches and Ben are unpopular, but the similarities seem to end there.

[MikeH]

Leaving on my own is free.

The question is, "How much are you willing to pay to post with everybody else without Ben?"

ACK!

You could always host your own forum.

But if you're Ben, then you aren't in the Philippines and almost certainly would never give money to them on account of them not being white. This makes it very difficult.
